In addition to certain guarantees provided by law, LegalZoom guarantees your satisfaction with our services and support. Because our company was created by experienced attorneys, we strive to be the best legal document service on the web. If you are not satisfied with our services, please contact us immediately and we will correct the situation, provide a refund or offer credit that can be used for future LegalZoom orders.

LegalZoom Satisfaction Guarantee Details:

If you're not satisfied, simply call us toll-free at (800) 773-0888 during our normal business hours. All requests made under this guarantee must be made within 60 days of purchase. We will process your request within 5 business days after we've received all of the documents and materials sent to you. Unfortunately, we can't refund or credit any money paid to government entities, such as filing fees or taxes, or to other third parties with a role in processing your order. We also cannot refund any money paid by you directly to third parties, such as payments made by you directly to attorneys affiliated with our legal plans or attorney-assisted products.

If you want to exchange the product you ordered for a different one, you must request this exchange and complete your replacement order within 60 days of purchase. The purchase price of the original item, less any money paid to government entities, such as filing fees or taxes, or to other third parties with a role in processing your order, will be credited to your LegalZoom account. Any payments made directly by you to attorneys affiliated with our legal plans or attorney-assisted products are not eligible for exchange or credit. Any price difference between the original order and the replacement order or, if a replacement order is not completed within 60 days of purchase, the full original purchase price (in each case less any money paid to government entities or other third parties) will be credited to the original form of payment. If you paid for your original order by check, LegalZoom will mail a check for the applicable amount to your billing address.

Please note that we cannot guarantee the results or outcome of your particular procedure. For instance, the government may reject a trademark application for legal reasons beyond the scope of LegalZoom's service. In some cases, a government backlog can lead to long delays before your process is complete. Similarly, LegalZoom does not guarantee the results or outcomes of the services rendered by our legal plan attorneys or attorney-assisted products. Problems like these are beyond our control and are not covered by this guarantee.

Since we're dedicating time and effort to your legal document preparation, our guarantee only covers satisfaction issues caused by LegalZoom - not changes to your situation or your state of mind.

Donald Trump's Casino Company Files Third Bankruptcy

You may have heard that business mogul Donald Trump filed for bankruptcy. Again.

While this isn't a personal filing, Trump is no stranger to bankruptcy. In February 2009, Trump's casino company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc., filed for bankruptcy for the third time. But this time, Trump and his daughter Ivanka quit before the actual filing.

Since the second bankruptcy filing in 2004, Trump has only owned about a quarter of the casino operation, although he continued to serve as Chairman of the Board until February. According to the court filing, the company had $2.06 billion in assets and more than $1.74 billion in liabilities. In order to save the company, Trump made an offer to buy the company and take it private. But he claims that bond holders and "their allies on the board" refused his offer. When the offer was refused, the Trumps walked.

Trump says, "I have nothing to do with [the bankruptcy]. I have nothing to do with the company. I am not involved in the management of the company. I'm not on the board any longer," (FOX News, February 18, 2009).

Ultimately, the casinos will stay open for business. At least one of the casinos will be sold in the spring to a company led by Richard Fields, a former protégé of Donald Trump. Trump has also hinted that he may take action to have his name removed from the casinos (Huffington Post, February 17, 2009).

What about Trump's other properties? Trump International Hotel & Tower project in Chicago is likewise in trouble. Sales were much lower than expected in the 339 hotel rooms and 486 condominium units. Therefore, Trump and his partners have fallen short of the $100 million capital needed to pay off the senior first loan. But Trump and the partner banks have reached a deal with their lenders; they now have until May 2009 to figure out a solution (BloggingStocks, March 4, 2009).

And is all this going to stop Trump? As he explained to FOX, "I just bought something in Washington, a big project in Washington. Just bought a big project in New Jersey. It is a great time to be buying. I'm going to be watching very, very carefully what happens as the time goes by," (FOX News, February 18, 2009).
